"And, finally, populism loves simplicity, especially, it seems, when it's dressed up with an impressively wacky hair do. Boris Johnson and Donald Trump appeal to the heart not the head, they offer simple solutions in a time of complex problems."

Our 'superiors' can't resist making condescending comments toward the common man. Yes, we simpletons in the general population are just so much less educated than you geniuses with your journalism degrees, we require everything to be boiled down in the most simple terms so that our pea-brains can understand.

Jerks.

Well even conservative elites like Uncle Levin and Hugh Hewitt think us simpleton plebes are too stupid to understand the nuances of de Tocqueville and Adam Smith. Damn our populism and not trusting predatory Darwinian capitalism aka trusting multinational corporations to do the right thing. Levin and Hewitt show a naivety about the human condition, that simply leaving a rigged system to do what it wants is the road to freedom and prosperity for a majority of US citizens. Like Fabian Socialism, laissez faire is a dinosaur also. Levin and Hewitt are part of the problem, not the solution. Funny listened to Levin this week, he's been conspicuously silent on Brexit. He's a big baby contrarian. Trump for Brexit so therefore Levin can't possibly be for it enthusiastically. No wonder Uncle Levin's wife left him. Imagine living with that know it all narcissistic blowhard.

The article is by Katy Kay (an appropriate first name, don’t you think?) former hair care model, BBC anchor and Morning Joe talking head.

That explains the juvenile nature of her article.
